Dagens Næringsliv says Tidal's internal report may have even overstated the subscriber number. It says that payments made to record labels at that time indicated that the service had around 350,000 subscribers.​The report also highlights another time when it alleges that Tidal's public user numbers misaligned with its internal figures. It said in a press release on March 30 that it had grown to 3 million paying subscribers, up from 900,000 in June 2015. But Dagens Næringsliv says that in April, a month after Tidal claimed to have 3 million subscribers, its internal reports showed 1.2 million subscribers. And payments to record labels indicated that it had 850,000 subscribers.
